Patience... two years ago I found another kit on ebay/US, sent it to my friend's mother in Connecticut... and she misplaced it... This Christmas I finally got it sent to Norway!
Now! Some questions:
-Do I need a custom motor plate or will std fit?
-Will the Worlds gearbox fit?
I think you can use a standard motor plate if you cut the plate at the bend. Cut the whole bent part off of it and it would work.
If the kit you have is original and not my reproduction that it will only except the 6 gear

Thx! So it's the 6-gear tranny or a MIP tranny? Or Factory Works?
6 gear or MIP, but not the FW. MIP will need a hole drilled in the other side of the case to flip the top shaft. Alternatively you could also reverse the rotation of a mod motor, or use a Hyperdrive belt spur gear so you don't have to modify the MIP trans (or motorplate). The pinion and spur gears will be on the left side of the car that way.

Great! As to Hyperdrive belt - is this hard to find? Vintage stuff or new? What should I search for?
Then definitely don't got for the Hyperdrive belts. It's my understanding you can reverse the rotation on brushless motors pretty easily so there's no need to modify the trans cases or motor plate.
I built and raced a Tekin MID some years ago, and I had to use my Tekin RS ESC to get it reversed. None of my other ESCs could do it. But maybe most ESCs now can do as well.
I also fly planes and 3D helicopters. Those use non-sensored motors, all you need to do there is swap two wires. But for cars with sensored motors it's not that easy, the ESC must support it. There's also timing on the motors, which normally only is prepared for one direction.

Has anyone tried swapping A and C and reversing the sensor cable? Mechanical timing would obviously have to be 0 unless you could go into retarded timing.

Hmmmm... would need to google that, never heard about it.
I still have the Tekin RS so I should be covered there at least.
I don't have any old bearings to sacrifice, so I spend way too much time making a pair of brass sleeves. I hate to destroy 2 new bearings for the inner races.

Thanks guys.The pic really helps on getting mine back together.Havent had much time since outdoor season started and new escale project going.
The JC arms.
Because the two different stiffness of arm come out the same mold and therefore have a slightly different shrinkage rate they will require some fitment adjustment like shimming etc to ensure the driveshaft fit correctly, they may also...
Once I saw Derrick and Fred's hard work I knew I had to build one of these. It may not look like it, but there is a whole car here in this box of parts :lol:

And we have race car!!!!!! Now to find a body and gear cover that fit right.
Back in the late 80's I converted my RC10 to mid motor using the Advanced Racing setup. I eventually converted back, but have absolutely no idea what i did with the parts. When Derrick and Fred offered reproduction parts I was psyched!

Hello, Some of you have probably seen the ARP mid motor kit that I reproduced. This kit has inspired me to make my own chassis design. This one is an 8 cell design with custom parts. I designed the wing mounts, wing, bumper, and chassis with battery...

Some how I never saw this post Phin. Wow that car in the add is shockingly similar. The future versions of this chassis will be for Lipo cells and will have braces from the front of the nose that connect to the chassis for added front end stability.
I guess many of you know the brand Fanton Racing.It was a brushed motor brand, but they made also aluminium option parts for XX and b2.
I was wondering if anyone has information of this option parts? What they produced for the XX..any catalogue..or...
